NSW Cup 2008 season

[yappy]

Cool Maggies to get a home final in week 3. Got a decent crowd to Campbo last year for the semis. You'd think Ringrose will be pretty packed for week 2 as well.

 

[yappy]

Maggies 30 - Vulcans 24. We were up 30-8 with less than 20 on the cluck but clocked off.

Heard the Tigers put 60 on the Knights after being up something like 52-4 at half time!

Also heard Windsor were up 34-0 against the Bears at half time and got run down to lose 40-38 or something like that. Must have been a cyclone blowing down the ground.

Certainly makes next week's Windsor v Magpies game just that little bit more interesting as 5th spot will be up for grabs.

Any other results?

Any other results?

Wenty beat Jets 26-12.

 

[yappy]

That puts 4th right on the table for us. Getting interesting again between 4th and 6th.

I heard the Cobras got up 44-12 or somthing close to that against manly, i was at the Jim Beam cup game so didnt attend

Central Coast beat Canterbury 52-22


The Bears comeback was sensational.

The Bears side was looking struggling already this week without Vagana, Widders and the Lowe brothers sitting on the sidelines. Then 5 of our 17 had to pull out with injury. This meant we had 2 guys making their NSW Cup debut for the year and 1 playing his second game, plus a hooker playing backrow and only 3 on the bench (a second rower, hooker and winger).

With all that in mind it was no surprise Windsor were up 34-0 after 25 minutes. The Bears clawed back to 34-12 at halftime. In the second half they showed amazing heart to get up 40-34, then Windsor scored in the final minute, but thank goodness for us that Shane Rodney sideline conversion attempt hit the goalpost so Norths won 40-38. Then all supporters were invited into the dressing room to sing the team song!!!

They're the games you talk about over a beer for decades to come.

Just ran into Beau Champion at Maroubra apparently Bears Beat Bulldogs 40-18 or there abouts, He was getting ready to go to Dave Wynyards wedding who apparently had just finished playing for Norths.

Who plays football before their Wedding ? WTF?
